How do I create an event?

An Event is a one-off activity or class that runs on a specific day and time for a set number of people or attendees. It could be a dance class, a concert, a presentation or a tour. Creating an event is easy - simply follow these steps:

Under Configure, select Single Event/Class from the left-hand menu

This page shows you a list of your existing upcoming events. To create a new one, select Create New

Enter the name of the event, and the description. These will both be displayed to your customer when they are booking. The short description appears on the first page of the widget, and the long description when they select details

Choose whether your event occurs on a Single-day or is Multi-day - A multi-day, for example, is a festival that commences at the beginning of your availability on Monday and finishes at the end of your availability on Wednesday (if you have resources and staff associated with the event, they will be booked out for their entire availability on all the days of the event).

Select what availability your customer sees when they book - Number of spaces and spaces left,number of spaces, number of spaces left, or nothing at all

Depending on your business set-up, there may be additional options:

If you also have multiple people or resources configured, then you can choose which relate to the event from the drop-down menus

If you have Multiple Addresses enabled under Account,then you will have the option to select the address

If you have added custom business only questions under Account > Advanced > Extra Business Data, you can fill in the responses here

Once you have filled in everything, you can click Create. The event now appears in the your admin calendar, is bookable by your customers and is visible under Configure > Single Event/Class.

If you would like to view the event in your admin calendar but do not yet want to make it bookable by your customers, you can select Disable at the bottom of the event details page. You will be able to make the event Active at any time.
